Walkthrough - Every Cheat, Hint, Tip & Others that I could Find

Cheats
------
To enter cheats in the game, first open the command console by
simultaneously pressing Ctrl-Shift-C. Press the enter button
or Escape to close the command console. Some of the cheats that
can be used here are as follows:
Enable Testing Cheats: testingCheatsEnabled + (type true or false). If you set this to
true then the video game will enter in debug mode meaning that you can change or lock
needs, Shift-Click the Mailbox in order to modify careers and others.
help: Lists all the cheats currently available.
help : Displays specific information about the cheat.
quit: Exits the game.
[up arrow]: Recalls the most recent cheat typed into this window
for this instance of the game.
resetSim : In the rare case that a Sim gets "stuck"
in an interaction or somewhere around town or gets something
stuck to it, use this cheat. It may take a while for the Sim
to appear because it is being entirely rebuilt.
Usage example: resetSim Mortimer Goth
fps [on|off]: Turns the frame rate display in the upper
right corner on or off.
moveObjects [on|off]: Removes footprint limitation for all object
placement in Buy Mode and Build Mode. Removes limitations placed
on hand tool for when objects are in use or for objects that
normally are not movable. Is known to cause issues with game
elements, routing, hidden object generation and manipulation,
etc. Note that using this cheat allows you to move and delete
objects that normally cannot be manipulated such as Sims.
If you delete these objects, there is no way to get
them back, so be careful!
constrainFloorElevation [true|false]: Allows all terrain adjustments
regardless of objects, Sims, and other structures on them.
Walls, floors, and objects will move with the terrain,
allowing you to create sloped walls and floored hills.
However, placing new walls/floors will still flatten
terrain, and placing objects will still require the terrain
to be flat initially if the objects normally require it.
disableSnappingToSlotsOnAlt [on|off]: When on, objects will
not snap to slots while holding ALT. Useful for placing
objects such as chairs near tables without them snapping
or placing counters near other counters, etc.
hideHeadlineEffects [on|off]: Hides all Sim overhead effects
such as thought balloons and speech balloons.
fadeObjects [on|off]: Toggles whether objects fade when the
camera gets close to them. Does not apply to Sims.
slowMotionViz : Puts the visuals of the game in slow motion.
Entering a "level" value is optional. Valid values range from
0 = normal speed to 8 = slowest.
unlockOutfits [on|off]: Includes career outfits and service Sim outfits
as options in Create a Sim. The cheat must be entered before
going into CAS.
Using the "testingcheatsenabled" Command
This testingcheatsenabled cheat allows you to do several useful things when used properly.
First, hold CTRL+SHIFT+C (CTRL+SHIFT+WindowsKey+C for Vista) and enter this code:
testingcheatsenabled true
Now, hold SHIFT and click your letterbox. This will provide you with these options:
Make All Happy
Force Visitor
Set Career
Set level
You may also hold SHIFT and click on Sims to get these options:
Add Sim to House
Modify Sim Traits
Force Aging
In Ground View mode, hold SHIFT and click a spot and your Sim will teleport to it.
You can also click and drag your Sims' need bars to full. SHIFT-click the mailbox and
select Make Needs Static to keep the max level until you leave the game. (Note: if you
SHIFT-click the mailbox and it says Make Needs Dynamic, select that. SHIFT-Click the
mailbox again and it will say Make Needs Static) This must be repeated each time you
re-enter the game. But you only have to do it once, as it will work for all of the Sims in
the household.
Hold SHIFT and click a Sim's workspace to do the following:

The Sims 3 Hint: Cooking Skill Exploit
Note: This glitch requires a TV with a cooking channel and a video game system. First,
have one Sim sit down and watch TV. Switch the TV over to the cooking channel so that the
Sim can start earning its skill point. Now, have a second Sim go over and start playing
video games. You should now notice that although the TV is displaying video games, the
first Sim still has the skill meter above its head! Simply allow this Sim to sit there
until it decides to go do another activity on its own. After that, the skill meter should
stay above its head until you start another cooking skill activity. As an added bonus, you
can train two skill points at once! i.e., Go work out and both the athletic and cooking
skills will continue to rise.
Addition: This also works with the Fishing Skill and the Gardening Skill provided you have
a TV with those capabilities.
The Sims 3 Cheat: Force Twins
Bring up the cheat console (See above cheats), click on a pregnant Sim to control it, then
enter this code in the console to have twins: forcetwins
The Sims 3 Easter Egg: Painting Spore and More
When your Sim finally reaches the top level in painting, they begin to paint masterpieces.
Look at the paintings for some nice suprises. One is an image of a Spore creature.
The Sims 3 Hint: Guitarfreaks Glitch
If you want your Sim to master the guitar skill and learn all of the songs, Don't just
play the guitar to reach level 10 because you want be able to learn new songs from books.
To learn the new songs just reach level 5 in the guitar skill, then put a level 5 book in
your sims inventory and click on the guitar and select new song (to learn it).
When you reach level 6, do the same thing again for level 6 books. Keep repeating this
process until you reach level 10 and your Sim will now know every song you've taught it.
The Sims 3 Hint: Mysterious Mr. Gnome
If on one of you sim travels you happen to find a Mysterious Mr. Gnome, DO NOT SELL
HIM!!!!! Apart from being a very valuable item, he has some entertaining qualities. When
you go to sleep at night he will move... not when you're watching of course but if you
kick him and stand him up again he will change positions.
The Sims 3 Easter Egg: EA Games
When your Sims take a video game break, you can zoom in on the TV and identify various EA
games on the tiny screen.
Shift-click at the Mailbox
Shift-clicking the mailbox will give you the following options.
Make All HappyForce VisitorMake Needs Static (or dynamic)Make Friends For MeMake Me Know
EveryoneSet Career...Force NPC...
Most of the options above should be pretty self-explanatory. I suggest toying around with
these options for a little while to see what you can do.
Shift-click Your Workplace
Shift-clicking where you work will bring up a couple of options as well.
Force OpportunityForce EventForce All Events
These come in real handy when you're looking to get a raise, be promoted, or otherwise
further your career. Force event simply forces an event to happen, like someone bringing
donuts to the police station. Force opportunity is a bit more helpful, as it generally
opens up things like staying late, working special assignments, etc. These will lead to
quicker advancement.
Shift-clicking the Active Sim
Shift-clicking the active Sim simply allows you to modify the traits of that Sim through
the 'Modify Traits for Active Sim' option.
Shift-clicking a Non-Household Sim
Shift-clicking a non-household Sim will provide you with the option to 'Add to
Household.'
Shift-clicking Any Sim
Shift-clicking a Sim also gives you the option to 'Trigger Age Transition' or 'Modify
Traits'.
Shift-clicking the Ground
Shift-clicking anywhere on the ground will bring up an option to 'Teleport' to that
location, so you'll no longer need to wait for a Taxi, etc.
Family Funds Cheat
In addition, the familyfunds cheat becomes available once you've activated
testingCheatsEnabled true. Here is how you add money to your family funds, this is a lot
quicker than using the Kaching or Motherlode cheats.
The cheat format is really simple, here goes:
familyfunds (lastname) (amount)
My Sims' name is Jason R, so to make him have 500,000 I would type the following.
familyfunds R 500000
Enable the "testingCheatsenabled true" code, then type one of the following codes at the
console window to activate the corresponding cheat function:
When the "testingCheatsenabled true" code is enabled on the "Select Family" screen before
loading a family, hold [Ctrl] and click just below the box in the lifetime happiness to
add 500 to lifetime happiness. You can also drag the needs bars up or down as desired.
When viewing your Sims' relationships, you can drag the bars on that screen either way.
When the "testingCheatsenabled true" code is enabled, you can hold [Ctrl] and click a
Moodlet in the Moodlet panel to remove it. Note: If it is motive-induced, the bar related
to the negative Moodlet will be completely filled.
Watching your own videos on the TV
Use the following trick to watch your own videos on the Sim television. Place the video
you want into the "/My Documents/EA Games/The Sims 3/Movies/Broadcast/[television
station]" folder. Turn on the television in the game, and you can watch it. The video must
be in .AVI format, with a resolution no larger than 128x128 pixels, and frame rate not
greater than 15 frames per second.
Listening to your own music on the radio
Place the desired .MP3 files in the "/My Documents/EA Games/The Sims 3/Music/[radio
station]" folder. Start the game, go to "Options" menu, select "Music Settings", then
choose radio station. Select which songs you want the radio to play.
Easy money
Start writing novels on your computer. Write fiction novels as they take the least amount
of time. They will not bring you too much Simoleons. When you write, your skill will
automatically advance. If your skill is high enough, you will be able to write more novel
types/genres. The most money can be made from "Romance Novels". You will get royalties for
six weeks once you finish a book. With the "Writing" skill maxed out, you can make
approximately 40,000 Simoleons every week, which is more than the 34,800 Simoleons you can
get by purchasing all neighborhood businesses, and takes less time to achieve. In three
game weeks you should have a very high speed writing, 9 or 10 novels as best sellers, and
100,000 Simoleons.
Saving money
No matter how many times you use an object, if you sell it the same day you got it you can
get all your money back. If your Sim is poor and needs body points or something else, buy
a body machine and keep selling it back to get a refund of all your money.
Easy Cooking, Fishing, and Gardening skills
This trick requires a TV with a Cooking, Fishing, or Gardening channel and a video game
system. Have a Sim sit down and watch television. Switch the TV over to one of the
previously mentioned channels so that the Sim can start earning his or her skill point.
Then, have a second Sim go over and start playing video games. Notice that although the TV
is displaying video games, the first Sim still has the skill meter above their head. Allow
this Sim to sit there for as long as they please until they decide to do another activity
of their own. After that, the skill meter should stay above their head until you start
another Cooking, Fishing, or Gardening skill activity. As an added bonus, you can train
two skill points at once. For example, work out and both the Athletic and Cooking skills
will continue to rise. If you keep repeating the steps until each skill channel has been
viewed, the Sim will keep learning the three skills as he or she goes on about their daily
life, and four when doing skill activities.
Free bookcase skills
Buy a bookcase, then have your Sim begin to study. Interrupt the action so that the book
is placed on the ground. Sell the bookcase. The book can now do everything the bookcase
could have done for free.
Increasing chance to have baby boys
Have a pregnant female Sim eat apples to increase the chance of having a boy.
Increasing chance to have baby girls
Have a pregnant female Sim eat watermelons to increase the chance of having a girl.
Increasing chance for multiple babies
To increase the chance of having twins or triplets, have one or both parents have the
lifetime reward of Fertility Treatment.
Ghost baby
Set one of your female Sim's traits to Kleptomaniac. Go to the graveyard, and have the Sim
steal male remains. On the second day after putting the male remains in your home, a ghost
will appear at 11:00 p.m. and disappear at 4:00 a.m. It will appear every other day.
Socialize with the ghost every night it appears. When you become best friends with the
ghost, it will begin appearing every night. Get the "Fertility" reward. Confess your
attraction to the ghost. Ask to snuggle on the bed, and kiss him. Try for a baby every
night until you start throwing up. You will now have a ghost baby that you can control.
Ghosts in your house
Go to the graveyard, click on all the tombstones, and take all possible tombstones. Return
to your house, and place them somewhere in your backyard. You now have a 70% chance of a
ghost or two, or even a whole party of ghosts visiting your house each night. To improve
your chances, write in the epitaph "Here Lies [Sim's name], The One Who Returns".
Making friends
Buy a guitar. Play it to learn how to play guitar. Keep playing until you reach 5/10
level, which gives you the ability to "Play For Tips". When you have that ability, go to
the park with the guitar in your inventory. When you are in the park, click the guitar in
your inventory, and select "Play For Tips". People watching you will become your friends
if you keep playing. The higher your guitar skill, the faster they will become friends
with you.
Disable aging
Instead of using a cheat code to toggle "aging on" and "aging off" like in The Sims 2, you
can de-activate the age in "Game Options" under "Options". When you uncheck the box next
to "Aging", your Sims will no longer become older. You can also slow aging down in this
menu by setting the "Lifetime" bar. It can be set from 25 days to 960 days.
Quickly advance age
Use the following trick to change your Sim's age (toddler, child, teen, etc.) quickly. Buy
a birthday cake from the grocery store, and place it somewhere on your lot. Click the
cake, and select "Have Birthday". Then, choose the Sim to be aged. This is a good method
to get past the baby stage.
Avoiding death
Go to Pleasant Rest Graveyard. Near the gate is a bush called "Death Flower Bush". Harvest
the flower from it, and keep it in your Sim's inventory. If you die, that Sim will give
the flower to the Grim Reaper and be resurrected. Although the flower will not reappear
there again, if your Sim has Level 7 Gardening, they can plant the "Unknown Special Seeds"
found in the graveyard and some other places that have a chance to grow as a Death Flower.
Note: Having the Green Thumb trait to revive the plant may help.
New clothes
To get new clothes, you first have to buy a dresser from "Buy Options". Once there, click
"Plan Outfit". You can put a total of three different clothes for each type (formal, every
day, athletic, etc.).
Learning all guitar songs from books
Have your Sim reach Guitar skill level 5. Have a level 5 book in their inventory, click
the guitar, then select "New Song" to learn it. After reaching Guitar skill level 6, do
the same thing with a level 6 book. Repeat the process until the Sim reaches Guitar skill
level 10, and they will know all songs that were taught.
Creating brilliant paintings or masterpieces
Create a stylized still life after it is unlocked. Choose "Genius", and make it in the
largest possible frame. You will now have a much better chance of getting a brilliant
painting or masterpiece.
Duck Time moodlet
Buy the Ducksworth of Bathington, and place it in your bathtub. When a Sim takes a bath,
they will get the Duck Time moodlet which results in a +15 boost for four hours.
Strange faces
There is a glitch in Create-A-Sim mode that allows to you to make very strange faces. Go
to the face designing area. Select a face part such as the eyes, and max out all the
sliders one way or the other. Then, go to a different face part, and select one of the
predesigned parts. Return to the eyes. The sliders will have reset to the middle, but the
eyes will still look the same. This works for all of the face adjusting tabs. You can then
continue to max out the size of the eyes and repeat. You can make eyes the size of dinner
plates, very long cheekbones, huge noses, and more.
Hording pizza
Have a Sim call for pizza. When the pizza delivery man arrives, do not accept the pizza.
The delivery man will eventually leave the pizza on the front porch, and it will never get
stale. You can stack as many pizzas there as you want. If your Sims get hungry, just tell
them to get a pizza from the front porch.
EA game references
When you have the video game system and your Sims play it, zoom in on the TV to see that
the games they are playing are various Electronic Arts titles.
Spore reference
Have a Sim reach the top painting level to have the ability to create masterpieces. One of
the paintings that can be created is that of a creature from Spore.

Avoid Death (The Sims 3)
How to: Go to Pleasant Rest Graveyard and find the bush called "Death Flower Bush" near
the gate. Harvest the flower & keep it in your inventory. If your Sim dies, that Sim will
give that flower to the Grim Reaper & be resurrected. Although the flower will not
reappear there again, if your Sim has level 7 Gardening they can plant the Unknown Special
Seeds found in the graveyard and some other places that have a chance to grown as a Death
Flower. *** Having the Green Thumb trait to revive the plant may help.

Protection From Death
Go to Pleasant Rest Graveyard, and near the gate, there is a strange bush called a "Death
Flower Bush" - Harvest the flower from it.
If you keep this flower in your sim's inventory, when you die the grim reaper will trade
it for a second chance at life.
This flower will not reappear, but there are Unknown Special Seeds (requires level 7
Gardening to plant) dotted about near the graveyard (and a few other places) which may
grow another Death Flower (and sometimes more if your Sim has the Green Thumb trait to
revive the plant.)

1.build a room and put a swimming pool inside it. ( make sure there is no ground for your sim to stand on inside the room, also make sure that there is a door.) then put the sim inside it ( in the pool) and get rid of the door. then wait until your sim drowns.

if you want loads of money you press ctrl shift and c at the same time and then when a blue bar comes up at the top of your screen let go and tipe in motherlode you wil only get 50,000 so do it a few times.

Once you have created a sim IT IS STILL POSSIBLE TO EDIT THEIR SKIN AND FACIAL FEATURES. Enter the cheat: 'TestingCheatsEnabled true' and Shift+Click on a sim. You will see an option saying "Edit Sim in Create-a-Sim". This allows you to change everything available when you normally enter Create-a-Sim.
Hope this helps
